Chapter 260 - 260 Taken The Bait
260 Taken The Bait
Lying on the deck, Le Wan looked down and saw shadows swimming in the water.
“That can’t be. There are so many fish here, but why didn’t any of them take the bait?”
She no longer asked for bluefin tuna or grouper. She would be satisfied with any fish.
In the end, the entire boat had been fishing for almost an hour with three fishing rods, but they hadn’t caught a single fry. Wasn’t this a little too much?
Zhai Jing was obviously under a lot of pressure. He started to suspect that there was something wrong with the fishing rod. So he put the rod away, only to find that the feed on the hook had long disappeared.
“So it’s an empty hook. No wonder no fish took the bait.”
“Put more feed on the hook this time,” Le Wan encouraged. “I’m sure the fish will come to bite the hook as soon as they see it.”
Zhai Jing followed her instructions and put twice the amount of fish feed on the hook. Ten minutes later, when he lifted the fishing rod, the hook was empty.
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
“Do you think we may have encountered a master fish?” Le Wan guessed. “The other party is obviously very familiar with the hook and knows how to avoid the hook and eat the feed.”
Otherwise, there was no other way to explain where the feed went.
The consecutive missed fishing attempts had obviously agitated Zhai Jing. He pursed his lips.
“I’ll definitely catch a fish today.”
Looking at his high-spirited and focused appearance, Le Wan had no choice but to shut her mouth and stay quietly at the side.
In her boredom, she saw a bundle of fishing lines in the toolbox. Le Wan thought of people in short videos who could catch fish with a line. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well give it a try. What if she was a blind cat and got lucky?
So, Le Wan took out the bundle of fishing lines, tied a hook to it, hung some fish feed on it, and then threw the hook into the water. Thinking that it was quite tiring to hold the fishing line just like that, she tied the other end of the fishing line to a nail that protruded on the deck.
However, just as she tied the line and let go, the line suddenly started shaking. Le Wan’s eyes widened.
“Did a fish take the bait?”
“It can’t be!”
In the next second, the fishing line was stretched straight.
“Waa!” Le Wan was so excited that she kept slapping the deck, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention. When they saw the taut fishing line, the crowd immediately got into action. Those who pulled the fishing line pulled the fishing line, and those who pulled the net pulled the net.
With everyone’s cooperation, the little guy who had taken the hook quickly emerged from the water. At first glance, it wasn’t small. No wonder the fishing line was so tight.
When it was almost at the side of the boat, Papa Le reached out with the net first, caught it, and tried to drag it up.
In the end, the little guy was struggling so hard that it almost brought Papa Le into the sea. It scared Le Wan, who was squatting at the side, so much that she quickly reached out and hugged his leg. In the end, it was the experienced captain who pulled the fish back to the deck.
Even so, the group was tormented.
Papa Le caught his breath and quickly asked the captain,
“What fish is this? it looks like it’s at least 30 catties?”
The captain glanced at the lonely fishing line on the ground with a complicated look, then looked at Le Wan.
“This is a salmon. I just mentioned it, and it’s estimated to be about 33 or 34 catties. For an adult fish, this size is not bad.”
When the crowd heard that this little guy was actually a salmon, they immediately cheered, even Le Wan was very happy. Although it wasn’t the bluefin tuna she had been longing for, salmon was also great.
Zhai Jing smiled and patted her little head.
“Is this the newcomer protection period you were talking about?”
Le Wan laughed.
“Looks like you’re lucky during the newbie protection period. I guess you’re all here with me.”
When Zhai Jing heard this, he leaned over. Le Wan thought that he was going to kiss her. Her eyes widened and he froze on the spot, not daring to move. However, she didn’t expect that Zhai Jing would just rub his nose against her forehead.
“Then, I’ll try my luck and go back.”
When he saw Le Wan’s shocked expression, he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her little face.
“Perhaps you were expecting something?”
Le Wan came back to her senses and knew that she had been played again.
“Hmph, you’re so annoying.”
She turned around.
“I’m not letting you take advantage of my luck.”
Le Wan’s battle results had undoubtedly inspired Papa Le and the others. They rubbed their fists and wiped their palms as they set up the fishing hook again, preparing to fight another three hundred rounds.
Since Le Wan was able to catch such a big fish with just a fishing line, there was no reason that they couldn’t catch one with their rods.
